The radishes and lettuce I planted in the salad bed had really took off. The radishes grew really quick and my guinea pigs loved them! My daughter tried them but decided she didn't like them and I don't really like them too much myself. I gave lots away to family members who do like a radish and they said that it's been along time that they had tasted such flavoursome radishes :) the lettuce was Italian leaf lettuce and myself and my daughter and the guinea pigs had plenty to enjoy. It just kept growing! I would trim off what we needed and the next time I went to the allotment there was even more.

The runner beans we had been growing on our windowsill were ready to plant out, we also put some Sweetpea seeds in next to the runner beans. They were given to us by an allotment neighbour, he said the Sweetpeas would be glorious when they bloomed. Some naughty birds stole a few of the seeds after we planted them!

#1                     

Do little and often, consistency pays off.

 
#2

Talk to your neighbours. They will be able to tell you what grows well on your particular site and give you useful advice.

 

#3

Always net over green leafy vegetables as birds love to nibble them, theres nothing more disheartening than finding your brocolli seedlings have been eaten down to stalks!
